participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive.
Based on facility policy review, clinical record reviews, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility
failed to offer the option to formulate an advance directive, as evidenced by utilization of only the POLST
(Pennsylvania Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment) and no documentation of the resident's choices

Notify the resident or the resident’s representative in writing how long the nursing home will hold the
resident’s bed in cases of transfer to a hospital or therapeutic leave.
Based on clinical record review and resident and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to
ensure that the resident and resident representative received written notice of the facility bed-hold policy at
the time of transfer for one of three resident records reviewed for hospital transfers (Resident 19).
Findings Include:
Review of Resident 19's clinical record documented diagnoses that included depression (feelings of severe
despondency and dejection), diabetes mellitus (the body's ability to produce or respond to the hormone
insulin is impaired, resulting in abnormal metabolism of carbohydrates and elevated levels of glucose in the
blood and urine), hemiparesis left non-dominant side (muscle weakness or partial paralysis on one side of
the body that can affect the arms, legs and facial muscles), stroke (damage to the brain from interruption of
blood supply), and epilepsy (a disorder in which nerve cell activity in the brain is disrupted, causing
seizures).
During an interview with Resident 19 on July 15, 2024, 10:39 AM, it was revealed she was transferred to
the hospital in June 2024 for blood in her stool.
Review of Resident 19's clinical record documented that she was transferred to the hospital on June 22,
2024, and the Resident returned July 1, 2024.
Further review of the clinical record failed to document the bed-hold notice was communicated to or
provided to the Resident/Resident Representative.
During an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) on July 16, 2024, at 1:50 PM, it was
revealed that Resident 19, wouldn't have been issued a bed-hold notice because the Resident's payor
source at time of transfer was Medicaid and it is an automatic 15-day bed-hold. Surveyor asked when that
information would've been reviewed with the Resident/Resident Representative, and he stated he would
have to investigate it.
During an interview with the NHA on July 16, 2024, at 2:24 PM, it was revealed that the nurse calls the
responsible party (RP) to inform of the transfer to the hospital and ask if they wish to hold the bed. It was
further revealed that the Business Office will follow-up with the RP if a bed-hold is requested to discuss the
daily rate cost.
During an interview with the Employee 2 (Business Office Manager) on July 17, 2024, at 11:46 AM, it was
revealed that Nursing is to complete the bed-hold notice, there is a form. Nursing is to ask the resident or
RP if they want a bed-hold a time of transfer, and they should provide the cost of the daily rate at that time.
If a family member contacts her regarding wanting a bed-hold, she will discuss the daily rate, otherwise she
doesn't follow-up with the transfers.
During an interview with the NHA on July 17, 2024, at 1:40 PM, it was confirmed that nursing will call the
resident representative to inform of the transfer, ask if they would like to hold the bed and discuss the daily
rate, and if a bed-hold is requested, the bed hold form is completed by the nurse. It was also revealed there
is no paper documentation of the transfer notice to the Resident/Resident Representative or
communication to the State Ombudsman or bed-hold notice for Resident 19.

refrigerated until removed to the medication cart, and expires 28 days after removed from refrigeration.
During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on July 17, 2024, the DON agreed that policy
should be followed and both the Lantus and Novolog insulins should have been labeled with the Resident's
name and the date they were removed from the refrigerator.

Findings include:
Review of the facility policy, titled Infection Control, last reviewed June 2024, revealed the facility will
maintain a monthly line list of residents with infections for trending and outbreak potential, follow-up review
of lab data is compared, and a monthly review is completed to identify trends to facilitate infection control
surveillance. The purpose of the surveillance of infections is to identify both individual cases and trends of
epidemiologically significant organisms and health-care associated infections, to guide appropriate
interventions and required reporting, and to prevent future infections.
The facility's monthly infection control logs for October 2023 through July 2024 were unable to be provided
by the facility. The infection control log book had data entered for July 2023, August 2023, and September
